Davidson's ex-fiance Ariana Grande didn't help matters when she joked in a since-deleted tweet that the comedian is 'like 10 inches?' in response to a fan asking about the length of her track, 'Pete Davidson' on her album 'Sweetener.' The King of Staten Island star reflected on how his relationship with Grande spilled into his work on SNL . He noted that while the 'show as a whole' loved how the relationship brought more viewers to the series, it was 'annoying for the cast.' 'I was embarrassed by it because … no one talked about any work I was doing,' he said on the morning show. 'They were just like, 'Oh, that's the f*** stick.' And that hurt so much.' Charlamagne challenged Davidson's claims of discomfort, saying, 'You was banging a lot of hot chicks and you had a 10-inch penis,' to which the Pickup actor fired back, 'On paper, that sounds great. But it's embarrassing.' The 31-year-old continued: 'Because it's Hollywood — everybody f***s everyone. Everyone dates everyone. Why are they focusing on me? I'm just a dude who tells d*** jokes that is a drug addict. It had nothing to do with comedy.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

While Davidson said he didn't want to 'victimize' himself, he did point out the double standard: 'If that was a girl … there would be a march for it … Seriously.' He continued: 'You're just talking about my d*** all day … They don't talk about girls like that professionally. Like it was professional, it was like pointed out on the street.' Davidson, who has been candid about his substance abuse and mental health struggles over the years, has also been open about staying away from the public eye due to how the media responds to his personal life. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Earlier this year, he told the New York Post that the press coverage of his dating life has been 'pretty humiliating and upsetting.' Davidson explained: 'It's embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. He added: 'I picked the wrong business to have a mental illness and go into. I'm one of the most insecure and sad people ever, and I picked the most insecure, sad business to go into.'

Create Account In May, Joel scrapped dates in Britain and a packed schedule crisscrossing the United States from July 2025 up until July 2026 because of a diagnosis of a rare condition, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). 'Due to a recent medical diagnosis, Billy will be auctioning off his bike collection later this year,' his publicist told AFP. Joel's extensive collection of motorcycles is housed at a shop in the Long Island town of Oyster Bay, where they can be seen free of charge on weekends. 'He will not be renewing the lease on the 20th Century Cycles bike shop once it expires late September,' the publicist said. The 76-year-old 'We Didn't Start the Fire' and 'New York State of Mind' legend has been a pop mainstay since the 1970s, and motorcycles have long been part of his public persona. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In the hit song's music video, he whisks away an 'Uptown Girl' on the back of his motorcycle, and sings about riding a motorcycle in the rain in the song 'You May Be Right.' His collection includes more than 75 bikes, per the shop's website. 'I like the older style,' with some motorcycles dating back to the 1940s, Joel said in a promotional video. Joel's condition arises if cerebrospinal fluid cannot properly flow throughout the brain and spinal cord, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. The excess fluid and pressure can cause brain damage. The institution said on its website that NPH is rare, and can cause cognitive impairment including memory problems as well as trouble walking. Joel said previously 'this condition has been exacerbated by (previous) concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance.' Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

Create Account Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed the lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Among many other allegations, they say Presley used them to financially exploit her name, image and likeness, hiding the fact that she had sold those rights decades earlier. The lawsuit comes just over a year after Presley, the 80-year-old former wife of Elvis Presley, sued Kruse and Fialko, alleging they engaged in elder abuse in a 'meticulously planned and abhorrent scheme' to 'prey on an older woman by gaining her trust, isolating her from the most important people in her life, and duping her into believing that they would take care of her (personally and financially), while their real goal was to drain her of every last penny she had.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Kruse and Fialko's lawyer, Jordan Matthews, said in a statement Wednesday that the 'evidence will establish that the real victims here are my clients, who invested millions and years of hard work into revitalizing Priscilla Presley's brand, only to be betrayed and falsely accused once the money was on the table and every personal and business issue had been resolved.' An email seeking a comment from Presley's lawyer was not immediately answered. Kruse and Fialko's lawsuit says Kruse is a well-known auctioneer and Fialko a successful entrepreneur, both of whom dealt in Elvis Presley memorabilia. The duo previously sued Priscilla Presley in Florida. They say she approached them in 2021 looking for help to save her from financial ruin, which they spent thousands of hours working to do. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Kruse and Fialko deployed IP, know-how and creative marketing to enhance Priscilla's brand,' the lawsuit said, and formed several companies to exploit her name, image and likeness. But they say as this was happening, Presley hid from them that she had sold the rights to license her name as part of a $6.5-million deal with Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2005. The lawsuit says that when confronted about the previous agreement, Presley repeatedly denied making it, and later said she had forgotten about it when confronted with evidence of it. The lawsuit also alleges Presley sought to take advantage of the 2023 death of her daughter and Elvis Presley's heir, Lisa Marie Presley, to aggrandize herself and regain a stake in the Elvis estate. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Priscilla and Elvis Presley were married from 1967 to 1973, divorcing four years before the death of the rock 'n' roll legend. Kruse and Fialko say they brokered a 2023 deal to end a legal fight over the estate between Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, actor Riley Keough, getting Priscilla Presley $2.4 million. But the lawsuit says she cut them off in violation of contracts soon after, publicly smeared them and later sued them. Priscilla Presley's lawsuit says that Kruse and Fialko fraudulently convinced her they were essential to her recovering financially, and that her former trusted advisers had been cheating her. It said they compelled her to take part in sham companies, lost control of her name, image and likeness, and forced her into 'a form of indentured servitude. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'By isolating her and immersing themselves in every aspect of her life, the defendants were able to fraudulently induce Presley into giving them power of attorney, control over her family and personal trusts, and control over her bank accounts,' the lawsuit said. Priscilla became a major public figure when she was a teenager because of her relationship with one of the world's most famous men. She never left the public eye, but she has regained a special prominence in recent years through Baz Luhrmann's 2022 film 'Elvis' and Sofia Coppola's 2023 film 'Priscilla,' based on her memoir. She is also an actor who starred in the original 'Naked Gun' franchise in the 1980s and 1990s, and she had a cameo in the new reboot.
